SAP DevOps automation and Integration with other DevOps tools
DevOps is becoming very common in the market. However, implementing DevOps for SAP ABAP Stack is a challenge, especially integrating with other DevOps tools, Selenium, Java Apps, and NOW is contributing more.
Choosing the right SAP DEVOPS Tool:
- SAP Systems have ABAP Stack, ABAP code is not stored outside of SAP like traditional code maintained in source code repositories.
- SAP has its own transport mechanism, and provides the facility to create change requests, dependencies, release requests and changes are tracked within the SAP System
- Traditional DevOps tools do not meet SAP DevOps requirements.
- SAP change requests need to track dependent chant requests in other cross SAP Sytems.
- SAP DevOps tools should integrate with other Test Automation tools
- SNOW is becoming popular in Service Task Management, and SAP DevOps tools must also integrate with SNOW.
- SAP transport change requests might require moving several other change requests go together, requires validation of all dependent change requests, ensuring to move in the order, rollback as needed
